Full-time actor

Chapter 351 [34] Cannes, set sail!

April 2004, 4, Hengdian.

After Chen Yu finished filming the Pepsi commercial, he rushed back to the set of "Sword and Fairy" without stopping.

"Ling'er, I really like you. No matter what you do, I still like you so much!"

"Even if you really decide to leave me and no longer like me..."

"I understand, maybe if I am with you, I will become a burden to you!"

"Brother Xiaoyao——"

"You don't need to say anything or explain!"

""I was reluctant to let go before because I felt that Ling'er was too fragile and needed to be protected, but I didn't expect that Ling'er would become so good after growing up and leaving me! "

"..."

However, Chen Yu has to leave the crew tomorrow and go to the imperial capital to participate in the rehearsal of "8 Minutes of the Olympics". He can only film Liu Yifei and the corresponding martial arts scenes until the first rehearsal is over and he returns to the crew again.

Liu Yifei held her snow-white neck high. Except for one mole, it was as smooth as white jade and seemed to shine with luster.

Chen Yu suddenly thought of something and quickly changed the subject.

"Don't tell you!"

Chen Yu imitated Li Xiaoyao and scraped Liu Yifei's nose. Liu Yifei took a breath and leaned slightly against Chen Yu: "I'm just afraid..."

"All right!"

In "Fairy Sword", the heroine Zhao Ling'er gave birth to a daughter Li Yiru to Li Xiaoyao.

This is the disadvantage of the experience school.

"Will we face such a day in the future?"

Liu Yifei raised her head, as if she had forgotten some of her unhappiness just now, her long eye hairs blinked, and her crystal clear pupils looked at Chen Yu, full of curiosity.

"By the way, you will start filming some scenes of pregnancy, childbirth, and raising a baby tomorrow, right?"

After all, men and women in love cannot see each other's shortcomings, only love and each other's advantages. After living together, they can discover the differences and shortcomings in details, and then quarrel... Running-in is inevitable for any couple, no matter how much they fall in love. problems.

After filming, Liu Yifei was still immersed in the scene and burst into tears. The two of them were really too involved in the filming.

"How could that happen, fool!"

In fact, when she was wearing ancient costumes, Chen Yu sometimes couldn't tell whether she was Zhao Ling'er who had come to reality or whether she had become Zhao Ling'er. There was really a sense of difference in character interaction, which made him sometimes immersed in " In the plot of "Sword of Immortality".

"I'll take you somewhere tonight!"

Liu Yifei raised her head with tears in her eyes, her reddish eyes were very clear from crying.

When Chen Yu finished speaking, he was a little silent.

So in order not to hinder the crew's progress, Chen Yucai filmed other people's films first.

Chen Yu was actually a little unsure himself, and felt a little guilty when he said this.

As for Liu Yifei and his wife, that's easy to say.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei are currently filming a breakup scene in "Sword and Fairy".

"But reality is often more absurd than TV dramas, right?"

Chen Yu smiled a little and said, in fact, Liu Yifei had expressed to her some time ago that she could not even play a role as a first-time mother, even a pregnant woman.

"No way, okay, the filming is done!"

Liu Yifei squatted there, playing with a piece of grass in front of her with her delicate hands, and seemed to be worried.

Even after asking Liu Xiaoli some things about her childhood, Liu Yifei still had no idea about these dramas.

"Where?"

You can experience any character, but how can you subconsciously do things you have never done... Besides, a 16-year-old girl has never experienced any of this?
So at this time, the performance will be awkward.

Liu Yifei still believed in Chen Yu; in her mind, as long as it was about filming, he seemed to have no trouble.

Chen Yu comforted Liu Yifei's back depressedly. The scenes between him and Liu Yifei were almost finished, and there were still a few scenes left for the finale. As for the others, they have all been filmed these days, and the remaining scenes have been filmed. , there are only martial arts scenes of fighting.

"When you get here, you will naturally know!"

"Sister, don't get too involved. This is a script, a TV series, not reality!"

Sure enough, when Liu Yifei heard this, she immediately pursed her lips and lowered her head: "Yeah!"

"Have you decided how to act?"

This requires the use of method.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction on her face, and she seemed to be much more childish these days when she was playing Zhao Ling'er.

"Don't worry, this day will never happen!"

Chen Yu said with a mysterious face.

This is a symptom that makes it difficult for an actor to escape from a scene. It may be better if he is not filming. When filming, this illusion often occurs.

This will probably take half a month to complete.

The two of them rested for a while and then continued shooting.

After finishing work at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yu took Liu Yifei into the car and rushed to the nearest maternal and child hospital.

There is no better place to observe pregnant women and birth.

"Is this... okay?"

Liu Yifei knows that many actors will observe and experience the corresponding profession in order to play a good role.

But she was afraid of herself, and even after experiencing and observing, she couldn't act well.

This is what she is most worried about. After all, she currently feels that her acting skills have not yet reached the stage where she can start acting. Although, she feels that it has improved a lot compared to the time in "Golden Dust".

"I've thought of it for you a long time ago!"

"If one observation doesn't work, let's observe it a few more times until it's completely simulated!"

Chen Yu took over a handheld shooting DV from his assistant Cao Yan!

"Take pictures and study them over and over again!"

"clear?"

Chen Yu scratched Liu Yifei's nose again, and Liu Yifei hummed, with a confident and cheerful smile on her face: "That's okay!"

"Go ahead and take pictures of what you think is okay!"

"Then, before we start shooting, we will watch more and simulate more..."

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei wore masks and hats and got out of the car. After entering the hospital, there were indeed many pregnant women coming and going, as well as mothers holding babies. Liu Yifei looked there carefully and opened it casually. Got DV!

Although many people were curious about the two of them, they just glanced at them briefly and walked away.

"It's not easy to be pregnant, even walking is different!"

"Some even need to support their waist..."

"My mother's hands are sore when holding her baby, and she shakes her wrists..."

Liu Yifei said while observing.

After a while, a lot of material was captured in the DV in her hand!

"Come a few more days, observe more and figure it out more!"

Chen Yu was talking to Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei suddenly thought of something and her eyes paused slightly. A master like Chen Yu had obviously discovered it and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

"No...nothing!"

"Have you thought about what it will be like to have children in the future?"

Chen Yu guessed that this was it.

"Um……"

"You're not following me, are you?"

Chen Yu laughed loudly, and Liu Yifei punched him on the shoulder, acting coquettishly, even the circles around her eyes were a little red: "I don't!"

Fortunately, she was wearing a mask, otherwise her face would be red with embarrassment.

"Tch, it must be. If you don't live with me, how can you live with someone else?"

"Then it's up to you!"

Liu Yifei deliberately narrowed her eyes and approached Chen Yu, then stared at him with her cute cheeks puffed out.

Chen Yu immediately stretched out his hands to hold her face, helping her to recover, and resting his head on her forehead: "Don't break the mask. How long will it take to have a baby?" "

"By the way, do you like children?"

"dislike!"

Liu Yifei took the opportunity to hold Chen Yu's arm tightly, suddenly shook her head, and leaned on his shoulder.

"..."

Chen Yu was a little surprised: "Why?"

No way, someone who is so loving and loves raising stray cats and dogs doesn’t actually like children?

"No reason. Just like Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, Li Yiru was born without a mother. How pitiful she is!"

It turned out to be like this, no wonder.

It seems that her parents' divorce had a huge impact on her.

"you're right!"

Chen Yu held Liu Yifei's waist and said calmly: "The family of origin is very important to children!"

Chen Yu's parents are very good, so he won't think about this.

But Liu Yifei experienced it as a child, so she became surprisingly sensitive.

"So, actually she doesn't trust marriage either..."

This is the reason why I didn't get married in my previous life. It's not that I couldn't meet someone good, but I was afraid that the final result would be bad. "Actually, the moment I was pregnant and gave birth, I was still very happy!"

Chen Yu pointed at the mothers and pregnant women coming and going. Many of them had kind and gentle motherly love on their faces: "If you fulfill your responsibilities as a mother, your children will understand you..."

"Ok!"

Liu Yifei understood Chen Yu's hidden meaning, which was about her mother Liu Xiaoli.

No matter what, Liu Xiaoli is a very competent mother.

The two of them chatted all the way until the hospital outpatient building closed, and then they headed back to the hotel.

In this half afternoon, Liu Yifei gained a lot.

She planned to watch the film again and again during the past few days, and then go to the Maternity and Children's Hospital when she had time.

She felt extremely fulfilled by experiencing professional life like this. Chen Yu really taught her a good method.

If you can’t learn by observation, then use DV to record it and study it.

buzzing-

There was a vibration, and Chen Yu, who was studying pregnant women with Liu Yifei, suddenly received a call from Ji Qiannan.

"Sister Qian, what's wrong?"

"It's been shortlisted. House of Flying Daggers has been shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes this year!"

Ji Qiannan's hearty voice sounded, and Chen Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Has the shortlist been announced?"

"Well, it was just announced, and the chairman of the jury..."

Wow!

Chen Yu stood up from the floor and said to Liu Yifei, who was playing a pregnant woman next to her: "Yifei, I'm going to see the shortlist for Cannes. Do you want to go?"

"what?"

Liu Yifei straightened up immediately, lifted up her messy hair, and blinked: "Can't you read on your mobile phone? Can you connect to Baidu on your mobile phone?"

"forget!"

Chen Yu really didn't think of this incident. After a few years of rebirth, he was used to using a computer to surf the Internet.

The 2G GPRS Internet access of this mobile phone is extremely slow compared to the 4G and 5G of later generations.

After a while, the shortlist for the 57th Cannes Film Festival popped up on Chen Yu's mobile phone, as well as the information of the jury members.

Liu Yifei pressed Chen Yu's face, and both of them looked at the screen of their mobile phones without blinking.

"House of Flying Daggers" is on the main competition list.

""2046" was also shortlisted?"

Sunglasses Wang Jiawei's "2046" was also shortlisted for this year's Cannes main competition.

"Fuck, Kore-eda Yukazu..."

Shortlisted for the main competition unit, Chen Yu also saw a very familiar name - "Nobody Knows" by Hirokazu Kore-eda!
This is a great Japanese director who will be famous all over the world in the future, another master after Akira Kurosawa and Takeshi Kitano.

"Is he famous?"

Liu Yifei tilted her head and looked at Chen Yu with a pure face. Chen Yu nodded: "Well, when I went to Tokyo, I heard about his name. He is a very powerful director in Japan!"

"Oh!"

Liu Yifei opened and closed her mouth, feeling like an illiterate.

Why does Chen Yu know everything? It feels like he knows many people.

"The competition in Cannes this year... is too fierce!"

Chen Yu glanced briefly and felt his scalp numb. He recognized many of them. There were 18 nominated films in total, and Asia occupied 7 seats.

In addition to the King of Sunglasses, Lao Mouzi, and Kore-eda Hirokazu, there is also Thailand's most awesome director Apichatpong Weerasethakul. This guy has been shortlisted for three major film festivals many times and is the artistic light of the Thai film industry. .

The two from South Korea are Park Chan-wook and Hong Sang-soo, whom Chen Yu also knows. These two can be regarded as great directors in South Korea. They are also regular nominees and winners of the three major film festivals.

The last Japanese director is Mamoru Oshii, an animation director whose animated films are famous all over the world - "Ghost in the Shell" Parts 1 and 2.

This time he is the only animated film shortlisted for the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

One can imagine how high the artistic content of this animation is.

"Don't watch it, damn it, it's too shocking... Lao Mouzi must be trembling too!"

"Hahaha!"

Chen Yu smiled there and quickly looked at the judges, hoping to bring some good luck.

"Yo?"

Chen Yu's prayer was somewhat effective.

"The chairman of the jury is actually Quentin Tarantino..."

Of course Chen Yu was very familiar with this director, and he was very closely related to China; and there was also a Chinese on the jury - Xu Ke, Old Monster Xu!
"Now, there is some hope!"

Quentin Tarantino, Jiang Wen’s good friend, his favorite catchphrase is “awesome” in Chinese!
This sentence was not taught by Jiang Wen, but learned by Quentin after staying in China for several years.

His Hollywood blockbuster "Kill Bill" released last year was filmed at the Beijing Film Studio in China. In addition to the crew members, assistant director, and actors, many of whom are Chinese, the acting director is Yuan Heping.

"Kill Bill 2", which is about to be released, is also shot in China.

He stayed in the imperial capital last year, and Jiang Wendu told Chen Yu several times; he basically hung out with this guy every day.

"If I had known earlier, I should have gotten to know each other last year..."

The reason why Chen Yu didn't go to see Quentin was simple. He actually didn't like this guy very much. Although the movies he directed were very good, in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" he later directed, Bruce Lee was very bad.

Although Bruce Lee is not as powerful as he is boasted on the Internet, he is also the founder of Jeet Kune Do. He has real skills. How could he be beaten by a stand-in?
The key point is that Quentin often says in front of the media that he is a fan of Bruce Lee and loves Chinese Kung Fu very much.

You talk about being an idol, but you just ruin it in a movie?

He may have been arrogant and rude during the filming of "The Green Hornet" and had a lot of white American stand-ins, but he couldn't be that arrogant!

It can only be said that the superiority of white people is innate.

I always feel that Asians should be bullied and should be humble...

"However, this guy and Hua Xia should be in a passionate love stage now!"

Lao Mouzi also visited him several times in person at Beijing Film Studio, and the two of them were very familiar with each other.

"This is an opportunity!"

Chen Yu smiled and said to Liu Yifei on the side: "Have you finished reading?"

"You've already finished watching it. Do you think it's interesting?"

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu with envy. Why is it that the movies this guy made were shortlisted for three awards as easily as eating and drinking? How many movies has he been shortlisted for in the past three years?
I have won several awards alone.

"I didn't know that!"

"It depends on the relationship between the jury..."

These days, any strength or movie quality is all fake!
Personal connections are the last word!
Among the films that can be shortlisted, any one that wins the award is actually convincing. Isn’t Lao Mouzi qualified? People are merciless when it comes to winning awards; let alone the three major awards, the same goes for the Oscars. Spending public relations money can also affect the final award.

"When can I be shortlisted for one?"

Xiaohanhan sat next to Chen Yu with his hands on his knees, looking at the stars in the sky, with a melancholy expression on his face.

"Study your acting skills thoroughly first before you talk!"

"You can't rush a good script, but I will definitely help you. If I don't help you get a movie queen, you won't have the confidence to propose!"

Chen Yu said playfully.

"Aha?"

Liu Yifei smiled and looked at Chen Yu: "Are you serious?"

"It's more real than the string of crystals on your hand!"

Chen Yu gestured and reached out to touch the amethyst bracelet on Liu Yifei's wrist. Liu Yifei shook it with his hand and said with a smile: "Then I'm serious. If I can't win the Best Actress, I won't agree to your proposal!"

"The best actress of Guomao Community Film Festival, is that okay?"

"..."

Liu Yifei directly gave Chen Yu a hygienic eye and let him experience it on his own.

Guomao Community Film Festival?
Thanks to this guy for remembering.

"Why don't you talk about Liu Yifei's film festival?"

"Haha, it's not impossible. As long as you add more nouns, anything will work!"

"no!"

"Except for the three major film festivals, I won't agree to the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse!"

Liu Yifei pretended to be arrogant and straightened her body; Chen Yu's face immediately turned bitter: "Sister, your demands are a bit high, please lower your standards!"

Don’t you know what you’re doing?

Not to mention the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse in the previous life, Baihua didn't even get one. Even a baby with her level won the Best Supporting Actress of Baihua; no matter how bad Liu Yifei's acting was, that was the one who could kill her in an instant.

It can only be said that Liu Yifei's film resources are indeed lacking.

"Then lower it a little?"

Liu Yifei finally compromised: "Then, get a golden rooster... right?"

As soon as the words were spoken, before Chen Yu could react, Liu Yifei couldn't bear it any longer and waved her hands desperately: "No... no!"

Is the Golden Rooster Bar OK?

Chen Yu was a little happy. Didn't you see it? Are you still an experienced driver?
You don’t want copper or silver, just gold?
"It's not nothing, it's not!"

"That's it. Let's get a golden rooster!"

Chen Yu waved his hand and it was finalized. In fact, what he wanted to say was that there was no need to take it at all, he had it with him, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it in the end.

You have to say this dirty talk in bed. It's so cold on the rooftop that it's not convenient to do anything!
